DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DeVry (NYSE: DV), a global provider of educational services, has been
honored by the Illinois Committee for the Employer Support of the Guard
and Reserve (ESGR), an agency of the Department of Defense, with an
Above and Beyond Award in recognition of its support of employee service
in the National Guard and Reserve.

“The Above and Beyond Award recognizes organizations that provide
outstanding support and cooperation to their employees who have answered
their nation’s call to serve in uniform in the National Guard and
Reserve”

“The Above and Beyond Award recognizes organizations that provide
outstanding support and cooperation to their employees who have answered
their nation’s call to serve in uniform in the National Guard and
Reserve,” said Michael Ayers, Ph.D., Illinois ESGR state chair.
“Supportive employers are critically important to maintaining the
strength and readiness of the National Guard and Reserve.

“DeVry joins thousands of employers that demonstrate their support of
service in the National Guard and Reserve by going above and beyond
statutory requirements of the Uniformed Services Employment and
Re-employment Rights Act (USERRA),” Ayers said.

The award is presented each year to a limited number of Illinois
organizations that go beyond granting leave for military duty to their
National Guard and Reserve employees. DeVry offers an array of programs
and support services for employees in the military and their families,
including pay supplement and continuation of benefits during active duty
time.

“DeVry has a distinguished history of serving the military and Veterans
dating back to World War II when we educated U.S. Army Air Corps
instructors on electronic devices,” said Daniel Hamburger, DeVry
president and chief executive officer. “That service commitment
continues today through support of our colleagues who have served and
the student Veterans we educate.”

DeVry University national director of military affairs, Jenell Givelber,
accepted the award on behalf of DeVry at the Illinois ESGR Annual
Employer Awards Ceremony in Lombard, Ill., in January.

“As a Major in the U.S. Army Reserve, I know firsthand the importance of
having your employer’s support during active duty time, and afterwards,
too,” Givelber said. “Signing the ESGR Statement of Support is a public
declaration of something we have been working towards all along, ‘doing
well by doing good’ – it’s the motto we live by at DeVry.”
